Growing Pains For Drake Maye

What They're Saying

Here’s Kyed’s full take on Maye’s training camp performance.

“The 2024 third-overall pick has been consistently better in 7-on-7 situations than in 11-on-11s or 1-on-1s. Maye will need to have a strong preseason and end of camp to beat out Brissett for the starting role, which currently feels like a longshot.

One thing that Maye can do in a game that isn’t as impactful in practice is make plays with his legs, scrambling, throwing on the run and evading pressure.”

HC Jerod Mayo said today that Jacoby Brissett, Bailey Zappe, and Joe Milton will also play in tonight's preseason game.

What's Next for Drake Maye?

Barring a major surprise, Maye will enter Week 1 as the backup. New England's bye doesn't pop up until Week 14, meaning there's not a natural early or mid-season transition period. 

So for now, outside of dynasty leagues, Maye's only worth drafting as a QB3 in superflex. See where he sits in our fantasy QB rankings.
